SAFETY CODE FOR
PILING AND OTHER DEEP FOUNDATIONS
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institu-
tion on 30 May 1969, after the draft finalized by the Safety in Construction
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
0.2 Pile driving and well sinking are specialized jobs involving a lot of
hazards which sometimes lead to accidents. It is necessary that certain
safety rules are laid down for every phase of work involved and that these
are meticulously followed by each member of the crew working on the jobs,
not only for his own safety but also for the safety of his fellow workers and
onlookers. This standard has, therefore, been formulated to lay down
safety requirements for pile driving and for preparing deep foundations
including well sinking.
0.3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing in
different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in
this country.
0.4 This standard is one of a series of Indian Standards on safety in
construction.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final va:lue, observed or calculated, express-
ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance' with
IS; 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded
off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard lays down the safety requirements for piling and other
deep foundations as stated below:
a) Safety measures while working with a piling rig, and
b) Safety measures while preparing other deep foundations.
•Rules" for rounding off numerical values ( revised).

procedures and in talcing precautionary measures in time against appea-
rance of sudden dangers, heavy sand blow and consequent subsidence of
peripherial area.
8.3 Prior geological study of terrain is recommended, particularly for rocky
area and bed with boulder studed soil to enable determination of slope of
rock, presence of fissures, etc, if any. Based on the information collected
precautionary measures against sudden tilt and shift in well shall be taken
for the safety of workmen.
8.3.1 If the study reveals presence of methane gas, approved type of

etc, shall not go under the cuuing edge of the weU curb. When a stage is
reached that sudden downward movement of the well may be exnected^
the divers shall not stay under the steining thickness but m'UI be provided
with long enough tools for doing any work at this stage.
9, PROTEGTION TO NEIGHBOURING STRUCTURES AND
UNDERGROUND SERVICES
9.1 In driven piles vibration is set up which may cause damage to adjoining
structures or service lines depending on the nature of soil condition and the
construction standsa>d of such structure and service lines^ Possible extent
of all such damages shall be ascertained in a(ivance and operation and
mode of drivixq^ shall be planned with appropriate measures to ensure
safety.
9.2 Wherever in the vicinity of a site where bored or driven piling works
are to be carried out there are old structures which are likely to be dama-
ged, fell-tales shall be fixed on such structures to watch their behaviour
and timely precautions taken against any undesirable effect.
9.3 In case of bored or cassion piles, measures shall be taken to ensure
that there is no appreciable movement of soil mass into the borehole which
may cause subsidence to any existing foundation in the close proximity.
In wet holes where such possibilities are likely to be there the same shall
be minimized by approved technique and the operation should be
planned.
